In order to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts in our lives, we must learn how our mind holds power over us through habitual patterns. If we try, our mind also has the power to transform itself because all habits are created by the mind itself. Maki acknowledges the difficulty of changing habits formed over a lifetime, but reminds us that habits are temporary, formed by causes and conditions and therefore are not absolute. Dharma offers us the skillful means and for Maki, tsewa is key. Tsewa or "a radical open heart" allows us to access a peaceful mind by generating warmth and tenderness within ourselves. We all have a desire to be understood by others. At the same time, do we make an effort to understand others?
